License to Access and Use the Website

In return for your agreement to these Terms, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Website.

The website and all content contained therein are the exclusive property of us or our licensors and is protected by U.S. and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. CSG does not permit the copying, sale, or exploitation of any content or material contained on the Website unless prior, written permission from CSG and any other applicable copyright owner is obtained. You acquire no ownership right to the Website and/or its content by accessing the Website.

Choice of Law

By accepting these Terms, you agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms will be governed by the laws of the State of Washington, D.C., with the exception of its conflicts of law provisions.

Dispute Resolution and Class Action Waiver

With respect to any claim, controversy, or dispute arising out of or relating to the website, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, you and CSG (together, the “parties”) agree to submit exclusively to resolution by confidential, individual, and mandatory arbitration, except you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The parties agree that the arbiter, and not a local, state, or federal court or agency, shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this agreement to arbitrate, inclusive of any claims that part or the entirety of this agreement is void or voidable. The parties further agree that the arbitrator shall exclusively be responsible for determining all questions of arbitrability, including issues relating to whether the terms of this agreement are unconscionable or illusory and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches or estoppel.

You waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right you may have to arbitrate a dispute as a class action and your right to a jury trial.

For the avoidance of doubt, in arbitration there will be no judge or jury, and judicial review of an arbitration award is limited. However, arbitrators may, on an individual basis, award the same damages and relief as a court (such as injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the provisions of these terms, like a court.

Any arbitration will be held in Washington, D.C. CSG will work with you to identify a mutually convenient alternative location, should that location not be convenient. The arbitrator will resolve any disagreements concerning the location of the arbitration.

Any dispute brought before an arbitrator will be adjudicated on an individual basis and not as a class action. Should arbitration not be permitted by applicable law, the parties expressly agree that any dispute will be brought and adjudicated solely in the federal or state courts of competent jurisdiction located in Washington, D.C. the parties waive any plea or defense that such courts are not the appropriate venue or that we, the two parties, are not subject to the court’s jurisdiction.

Any arbitration will be administered by jams. Should you desire a copy of the rules of jams, you may contact the organization directly. The parties will agree on one arbitrator to conduct the arbitration. Should we be unable to decide together on an arbitrator, the arbitrator will be selected by jams rules.

To the extent either you or CSG has violated or threatened to violate the intellectual property rights of the other, the aggrieved party may bring suit seeking injunctive or other appropriate relief before any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this section.

Except as otherwise prohibited by law, you agree that any dispute must be brought before the arbitrator within one year of the date of the cause of action.

To the extent any part of this agreement to arbitrate is invalidated or held unenforceable, the remainder of the agreement to arbitrate will remain in effect.

To the extent the Website contains links to websites not owned or operated by CSG (“Third Party Sites”), CSG is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such sites. If you follow a link on the Website to a Third Party Site, you become subject to that Third Party Site’s terms of use and privacy policy, which we advise you to review.

Indemnification

You will indemnify and hold harmless CSG and any CSG-affiliated person or entity from any claims, losses, or damages—including legal fees—which may result from your violation of these Terms or use of the Website. You further agree to fully cooperate in CSG’s or any CSG-affiliated person or entity’s defense against such claims.

Privacy Policy

Integration

Miscellaneous

Should you enter into another agreement with CSG, including with respect to products or services described on the Website, these Terms may be supplemented by such agreement.

Further, CSG’s failure to exercise a right or provision under these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
